instructions for use. Always use stabilizer with a full tank of gasoline. Always drain old fuel and use fresh fuel before next use. If you do not use a fuel stabilizer the fuel system must be drained and cleaned. Drain the fuel tank and start the engine and allow it to run until all fuel lines and carburetor are drained of fuel. Before restarting the carburetor. Float bowl must be removed and cleaned of any debris. NEVER use chemical solvents or cleaners in the fuel tank for damage may occur.
Voltage Selector Switch
The 3500 Watt, 4000 Watt and 5500 Watt Models are equipped with a “Full Power” voltage selector switch. This switch allows the operator to chose between 120/240 Volt AC “Dual Power” operation and 120 Volt “Full Power” operation. The 120/240 Volt AC “Dual Power” operation allows the duplex receptacles to provide 120 Volt AC electricity and the NEMA L14-‐30 twist lock receptacle to provide 240 Volt AC electricity. The 120 Volt “Full Power” mode, allows the duplex AND NEMA L14-‐30 twist lock receptacle to provide 120 Volt AC electricity. When exclusively operating 120 Volt AC items with your generator, place the voltage selector switch in the 120 Volt “Full Power” position. This will double the effective power available at 120 Volts, as compared to 120/240 Voltage “Dual Power” mode.

Troubleshooting
IF YOUR ENGINE WILL NOT START: 1. Check to ensure switches are in the “ON” position. (Both unit and engine) 2. Check engine oil level. Your unit possesses a Low Oil Shutdown feature that will
not allow your engine to start if the oil is below safe operating levels. This feature is installed to increase the life of your engine and prevent engine damage. If oil level is low, fill to the full mark on dipstick. Refer to the Product Specifications for exact oil type and amounts.
3. Check the fuel level to insure adequate fuel. Add fuel if necessary. 4. Remove and inspect the spark plug for cleanliness and proper electrode gap. If
needed, clean or replace the spark plug. Refer to Spark Plug Maintenance in the Maintenance section of the Owner’s Manual for proper procedure.
5. If your unit will still NOT start after performing the above checks, call our customer hotline at LIFAN Power USA Toll Free 1-‐866-‐471-‐7464 or take your unit to an authorized Service Center.
NOTE: Periodically on the initial start-‐up or after the unit has been stored for a long period of time the float for the “Low Oil Shutdown” system will stick to the bottom of your oil pan. Locate the two (2) wires to the Low Oil Sensor Diode (figure “Low Oil Sensor Diode” to the right) located on the side of the engine block. Unplug these wires and, only after ensuring the engine is full of oil, start the engine and allow to run until warm (normally 20 minutes, as this will heat the oil and release the float on the Low Oil Shutdown System). Then re-‐plug the wires to the terminals on the Low Oil Shutdown Sending Unit. UNIT DOES NOT PROVIDE ELECTRICAL CURRENT:
1. Plug in a small appliance or tool to test. 2. Check if the AC Circuit Breaker is in the “ON” position. If not, place in “ON”
position. If equipped with a GFCI receptacle, re-‐set GFCI Breaker by pushing in the reset button in the middle of the GFCI’s face plate (this must be done with the engine running).
3. On units equipped with a 120-‐120/240 Volt current selector switch, ensure the switch is in the proper position. For 120 Volt only operation, place the switch to the side marked with the 120V designation. For 240 Volt operation ensure the switch is in the 120/240 Volt location. If the Voltage Selector Switch is placed in the middle position, it will NOT provide electrical output.
